The Forara CWDM X2 is a standardized form factor for 10 Gbps fiber optics transponders. It is hot pluggable, used in datacom optical links, primarily 10G Ethernet. The electrical interface to the host board is also standardized and is called XAUI (4 x 3.125 Gbps). Product link lengths is available with 10km, 40km and 80km at wavelength range from 1470nm to 1610nm with step of 20nm. Digital diagnostics functions are available via an MDIO interface. The transceiver is RoHS-6 compliant and lead-free.

Notes:
1. XX=47, 49, 51...61, which 47=1470nm, 49=1490nm, 51=1510nm...61=1610nm
2. Dual SC/PC connector (-10KM, -40KM, -80KM)
3. Only connections with patch cords with PC or UPC connectors are supported. Patch cords with APC connectors are not supported.
4. Minimum cabling distance for -10KM, -40KM modules is 2m, according to the IEEE 802.3ae.
5. For -ER, when shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used (<20km), requires 5dB attenuator if Link Distance < 20km.
6. For -ZR, when shorter distances of single-mode fiber are used (< 5km), an inline optical attenuator must be used to avoid overloading and damaging the receiver.
• Requires 15dB attenuator if Link Distance < 5km.
• Requires 10dB attenuator if Link Distance is between 5km and 25km.
• Requires 5dB attenuator if Link Distance is between 25km and 45km.
